BALANCING PRAYER & WORK: DANCING the DELICATE DANCE

Presenter: MICHAEL BOOVER

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Many of us seek to live a life that balances leisure and labor but are hard-pressed to actually do so. This retreat invites participants to explore the “ins and outs” of the spiritual life by opening to inner and outer movements that may prove helpful and hopeful in the daily round of faith. Participants will be invited to integrate needed contemplation with blessed activism in their particular life circumstances.
